There's something about a color case hardened receiver that makes a lever gun feel special, and Henry nailed it with this one. The Big Boy Color Case Hardened Side Gate in .45 Colt wears swirling case colors on its steel receiver, a deep blued 20-inch octagon barrel, and checkered American walnut on both the straight-grip stock and forend. It looks like it belongs in a saddle scabbard, but it's built to earn its keep at the range, in the deer woods, or on the cowboy action line.
For years, Henry fans asked for a loading gate, and this rifle delivers it without giving up the tube. You can top off rounds through the side gate the traditional way, or pull the inner magazine tube to unload safely at the end of the day without cycling live cartridges through the action. That dual loading system is genuinely useful, not just a talking point, and the 10+1 capacity of .45 Colt gives you plenty on tap for a match stage or a day of plinking.
The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert lines up nicely with the brass bead front, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you'd rather run a scope with Henry's rail. At 7.84 pounds with a 37.5-inch overall length, it carries easier than a lot of full-size lever actions, and the octagon barrel puts a bit of weight forward where it steadies your swing. The 14-inch length of pull and solid rubber recoil pad make it comfortable for most builds, and the .45 Colt chambering keeps recoil mild enough for long sessions.
Henry's smooth action and American-made build quality have earned a loyal following, and the transfer bar safety means no crossbolt breaking up those classic lines. Whether you're pairing it with a .45 Colt revolver, hunting hogs and deer inside 100 yards, or just want a rifle that draws compliments every time it comes out of the safe, this Big Boy makes a strong case for itself.
Both. This model gives you a traditional side loading gate plus Henry's removable inner magazine tube. Load through the gate to keep the mag topped off, then pull the tube when you want to unload without running every round through the chamber. It's one of the most practical setups on any lever gun.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory for Henry's BB-RSM scope mount, sold separately. If you stick with irons, the semi-buckhorn rear sight is fully adjustable and pairs with a classic brass bead up front.
Inside reasonable ranges, absolutely. Out of a 20-inch barrel, .45 Colt picks up noticeably more velocity than it does from a revolver, and with quality hunting loads it handles deer and hogs well at woods distances. It's also a favorite for cowboy action matches and relaxed range days since recoil stays gentle.
There's no crossbolt or manual switch. Instead it uses an in-hammer transfer bar safety, which prevents the rifle from firing unless the trigger is fully pulled. That keeps the receiver lines clean and lets you carry with the hammer down over a loaded chamber.
